The fluorinated isophthalonitrile compounds having the general formula (I) according to the present invention can be prepared as follows. ##STR32## wherein Y and R are the same as defined above.
Thus, the starting materials (II) and (III) are mixed to allow to be reacted in the presence or absence of a solvent to form the desired fluorinated isophthalonitrile compounds (I). The reaction is preferably carried out at a temperature between -20° C. and the reflux temperature of a solvent. The starting material (III) may be used as a reaction solvent. Alternatively, aprotic solvents such as acetonitrile, chloroform, dichloromethane, benzene, toluene, dioxane, ethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, and ethyl acetate may be used as a reaction solvent. Furthermore, the above-mentioned reaction can be advantageously accelerated when a catalytic amount, or an amount equimolecular to 10 times the starting material (II), of a base such as an alkali hydroxide, triethylamine, pyridine, an alkali carbonate, or potassium fluoride is used.
The starting compound (II), i.e., tetrafluoroisophthalonitrile, can be prepared from tetrachloroisophthalonitrile in a known manner (see, for example, British Pat. No. 1026290 (1966), Bull. Chem. Soc. Japan 40, 688 (1966), Kagaku Kogyo Zasshi (Japan) 73, 447 (1970), and Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 41-11358).
The fluorinated isophthalonitrile compounds according to the present invention have excellent and remarkable mildewproofing action and antibacterial action and also have wide action spectra and are very stable against ultraviolet light. Furthermore, when the fluorinated isophthalonitrile compounds according to the present invention are used as an agricultural fungicide in the field or as an industrial antibacterial and mildewproofing agent outdoors, the compounds exhibit excellent prolonged activity.
The nonmedical fungicides according to the present invention contain, as an effective or active ingredient, one or more of the above-mentioned fluorinated isophthalonitrile compounds, preferably in an amount of 1% to 95% by weight, more preferably 10% to 80% by weight, of the total amount of the composition. Thus, the present fungicide has excellent curative effects (i.e., effects obtained by directly applying the present agent to the portion where harmful fungi or bacteria are generated) and excellent preventive effects (i.e., effects obtained by applying the present agent to the portion where harmful fungi or bacteria are expected to be generated).
The above-mentioned effective compounds according to the present invention can be directly used as a nonmedical fungicide. Furthermore, the present compounds can be formulated with bases to form various forms of preparations such as powder, wettable powder, tablets, oily agents, gaseous agents, emulsions, aerosols, and fumigants.
These bases usable in the formulation of the present fungicides may be in the form of solid, liquid, or gas. Examples of the solid bases usable in the present invention are talc, clay, kaolin, diatomaceous earth, calcium carbonate, potassium chlorate, silica, niter, woodmeal, nitrocellulose, starch, wheat flour, soybean flour, and gum arabic.
Examples of the liquid bases usable in the present invention are water and organic solvents. Typical examples of the organic solvents are hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene, kerosine, diesel oil, fuel oil, petroleum, and naphtha; ketones such as acetone, methylethyl ketone, and cyclohexanone; chlorinated hydrocarbons such as carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, trichloroethylene, and perchloroethylene; amyl acetate and butyl acetate; monoalkyl ethers, e.g., monomethyl ether and monoethyl ether, of ethylene glycol; and alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, and amyl alcohol.
Examples of the gaseous bases usable in the present invention are air, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, Freon (registered trademark of DuPont for fluorohydrocarbons), propane, and butane.
In addition to the above-mentioned bases, various conventional ingredients can be optionally incorporated into the present germicide. For example, nonionic, anionic, cationic, or ampholytic surfactants can be used as an adjuvant (i.e., a wetting agent, emulsifier, dispersing agent, spreader).
The nonmedical germicides according to the present invention are effective for controlling a wide variety of diseases of various agricultural and garden crops and are also effective against microorganisms, such as fungi, algae, bacteria, and organisms of slime, which adversely affect industrial products or the starting materials thereof. Examples of such diseases and microorganisms are as follows.

EXAMPLE
The present invention will be further explained by, but is by no means limited to, the following Synthetic Examples, Formulation Examples, and Test Examples. In Synthetic Examples, 19 Fnmr and 1 Hnmr are the NMR data determined by using trifluoro acetic acid as an outer standard and tetramethyl silane as an inner standard, respectively, unless otherwise specified.
SYNTHETIC EXAMPLE 1 Synthesis of 4-Amino-2,5,6-trifluoroisophthalonitrile (i.e., Compound No. 1)
To a solution of 2.0 g of tetrafluoroisophthalonitrile in 20 ml of acetonitrile, 0.6 ml of 28% aqueous ammonia was dropwise added. After the dropwise addition, the mixture was stirred at room temperature for one hour. An aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution was added to the mixture and the resultant mixture was extracted with chloroform and was washed with an aqueous sodium chloride solution. After drying with sodium sulfate, the chloroform was distilled off to obtain yellow crystal. The resultant crystal was recrystallized from chloroform to obtain 1.2 g (61% yield) of the desired compound No. 1.
The analytical results are as follows.
19 Fnmr (CCl4 /DMSOd6) δ25.0 (d,JFF =9.4 Hz, 1F) 46.7 (d, JFF =18.8 Hz, 1F) 80.0 (dd, JFF =18.8 Hz, 9.4 Hz, 1F).
1 Hnmr (CCl4 /DMSOd6) δ2.8 (s).
SYNTHETIC EXAMPLE 2 Synthesis of 4-Anilino-2,4,6-trifluoroisophthalonitrile (i.e., Compound No. 6)
A solution of 0.85 g of aniline in 20 ml of acetonitrile was dropwise added, while stirring, to a solution of 2.0 g of tetrafluoroisophthalonitrile and 2.0 g of triethylamine in 30 ml of acetonitrile. After dropwise adding, the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour and an aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution was then added. The mixture was extracted with chloroform and the chloroform extract was washed 5 times with an aqueous sodium chloride solution. After drying with magnesium sulfate, the chloroform was distilled off. The resultant crude crystal was purified by silica gel chromatography (solvent:hexane). Thus, 2.3 g (87% yield) of the desired compound No. 6 was obtained.

TEST EXAMPLE 2 Evaluation test of antifungal activity against black spot of pear
A sample agent diluted to a certain concentration was uniformly sprayed on the developed leaves of pear trees (variety: Nijyusseiki) in an amount of 20 ml per 5 leaves and was dried in a room.
After air drying, conida of Alternaria kikuchiana formed on an apricot culture medium were sprayed on and was inoculated on the leaves. The incubation was carried out at a temperature of 25° C. and a relative humidity of 100% for 3 days. After 3 days, the infected area was measured. Five tests were carried out in each run.
The results are shown in Table 3.

TEST EXAMPLE 3 Evaluation test of antifungal effect against rice blast disease
A sample liquid agent containing a certain amount of an active compound was uniformly sprayed on rice seedlings (variety: Jyukkoku) at true leaf stage in a pot with the volume of 200 liter/10 a and was air-dried in a green house.
After air drying, a spore suspension previously prepared in such a way that 40 conidia of rice blast fungus were present in a visual area of a 100 magnification microscope was uniformly sprayed and inoculated. Immediately, the sprayed rice seedlings were allowed to stand under dark conditions of a temperature of 23° C. and a relative humidity of 100%. After 48 hours, the rice seedlings were transferred to a green house and, after 10 days from the inocuration, the degree of the infection was determined. The inhibition value was calculated as follows. Three tests were carried out in each run. ##EQU1## wherein n: Number of leaves in each infection degree

TEST EXAMPLE 5 Antifungal spectrum test against spores by agar dilution streak method
A 10 ml amount of a potato-agar medium containing a certain concentration of each active ingredient was poured into a petri dish. After solidifying, a spore suspension of each test microorganism having 2.00 to 3.00×106 spores/ml was inoculated in the form of streaks with a platinum loop amount. The petri dish was allowed to stand in a constant temperature room at 25° C. for 3 days. Thereafter, the degree of growth was examined and the minimum inhibition concentration (i.e., "MIC") was determined. Four tests were carried out in each run.
The results are as shown in Table 6.

TEST EXAMPLE 8
For evaluation test of antibacterial action against bacterial soft rot disease of Japanese raddish the rhizome portion of Japanese raddish was cut to the form of a ring having a thickness of 1 cm with a 18 cmφ cork borer to form raddish chips. The chips were dipped in a liquid containing a certain concentration of an active ingredient for one hour. After air drying, one drop of a culture liquid containing bacterial soft rot bacteria which was cultivated at 27° C. for 24 hours in a normal bouillon medium by shaking culture, was inoculated in the center of the raddish chip. The raddish chip was allowed to stand at a temperature of 27° C. for 2 days under a high humidity condition. Therefore, the putrefaction degree of the raddish chip was examined. Five tests were carried out in each run.
